Helen Flanagan praised for 'natural beauty' and told 'don't' as she strips to bikini

Helen Flanagan has been flooded with praise for showing off her 'natural beauty' as she stripped to her bikini while on her latest holiday. While the actress has since jetted back to the UK, she had already taken to social media to share a sensational look at herself in her swimwear.

The 32-year-old, who is currently co-parenting Matilda, eight, five-year-old Delilah and Charlie, two, with her ex-fiance Scott Sinclair, was first seen at the airport with her brood before posting regular updates to her fans and followers.

During her trop, Helen was defended by fans as she posed alongside her young children during a spectacular evening out. Helen stood alongside Matilda, Delilah and Charlie who all appeared immaculately dressed for the occasion. And the mum-of-three stunned in a cut-out brown outfit which bared her toned abs while also boasting a thigh-high split.

A third shared: "If it annoys you so much why follow her? Why not share
